I’ve heard that ephedra isn’t the safest thing out there. Truth is, there are a lot of things out there that aren’t safe. The foods we eat can actually cause us to gain weight. Like eating fast food all of the time. I can’t believe how many children out there are obese. It seems like in this day and age kids are gaining more and more weight. My guess is they are obese because instead of going outside and riding their bike or skateboards, they are inside playing video games.

My nephew must spend at least eight hours a day playing games on his X-Box. But, because he drinks “green drinks” and fruits and vegetables, foods high in protein and lots of water, he, thank goodness, is still lean and healthy. I’m a firm believer in eating healthy, exercising and drinking copious amounts of water. Kids should be allowed to play video games, don’t get me wrong, but they should also be doing activities that actually burn calories. I would suggest getting your kids out of the house by going on a walk, a hike or a bike ride. You could even take them bowling, at the very least they are getting a little movement.
